What a surprise. The People who are running the so called “Resistance” are taking their vig:

When Donald Trump took office in 2017 many people feared the worst. During his campaign, he promised to build a wall to keep out immigrants, discussed creating religious registries, and was recorded making claims of sexual assault on women. A large group of the American population worried that their rights would diminish during a Trump Presidency.

As a reaction to the fears stirred up by Trump in the White House, the Democratic Party responded with the Resistance. In essence, the Resistance is a combination of activists, groups, Democrat Party leaders, and Democrat-leaning celebrities or media personalities. The purpose of the Resistance has been to organize people against the harshest parts of Donald Trump’s platform. Whether through organized marches and protests, or donning pink hats as a way to promote feminism, there have been many forms of resisting Donald Trump.

While the Resistance might boost morale or inspire some people, it has also become an opportunity for others in the media to make thousands of dollars. Enter Scott Dworkin, an MSNBC contributor, who claims to lead the Resistance in his twitter bio. He has regularly appeared on Joy-Ann Reid’s show, AmJoy. During his appearances, Dworkin has pushed theories of a connection between Donald Trump and the Russian government. He hypes this connection as something that will lead to the impeachment of the President. But that is not where Dworkin’s efforts end; in fact, it’s just the beginning.………

During the 2017-2018 election cycle, The Democratic Coalition took in a reported $221,847.62 from individual contributors and spent $209,073.96. A closer look at their expenditures revealed something of interest. The Super PAC made multiple payments of $5,000-10,000 dollars to a firm BULLDOG FINANCE GROUP, for “Consultant-Fundraising.” A quick search of Bulldog Finance Group revealed that its founder was none other than Scott Dworkin himself. In total, Dworkin, who sits on the board of The Democratic Coalition, agreed to pay his consultant firm $79,500.

Furthermore, other expenditures made by the Democratic Coalition had ties to someone sitting on their board, Jarad Geldner, who is listed as the Super PAC’s senior adviser. Geldner also founded FWD Communications, a public relations firm. The Democratic Coalition made multiple payments to Geldner’s firm totaling $18,500.
………

Rather, Dworkin’s Super PAC promotes fear through a repeating cycle of Russian-based propaganda, which garners donations, which pay consultants that generate those stories over and over again, garnering yet more donations. As to what purpose his Super PAC actually serves, it appears to be little more than a Möbius strip of self-serving opportunism. The money sent to this Super PAC would be better spent in other ways to help fight back against a Trump administration. Donors could be sending money to candidates or grassroots organizations, rather than to the whims of Scott Dworkin.

Donate to local campaigns. not the party apparatchiks.

Job one for them is lining their own pockets.
